Experience a new, luxurious way to ride.
You told us that you’d like a better premium ride experience. That’s why we’ve launched a new ride option called Uber Premium.
To ensure you have one clear and unified premium offering in-app, Uber Premium will be the only premium ride option in-app with Uber Select and Uber Black being discontinued from 20 August.
Step it up with Uber Premium and enjoy an elevated ride in a luxury car. And, with exclusive ride preferences personalised just for you, you’ll have more control over the way you ride.
Arrive in style
For any occasion where you’d prefer a more stylish ride – like an important business meeting, trips to and from the airport or a special occasion – now you can get there in style in a luxury car.
Ride the way you like
Enjoy more control over the way you ride with rider preferences. You can personalise your trip by requesting a quieter ride, cooler temperature or even help with your bags.
Enjoy extended pickups
We’re giving you a little extra time to get to your car when unexpected delays pop up. With extended pickups your driver will now wait up to 10 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
- How does Uber Premium differ from Uber Black?
You’ll be happy to know that Uber Premium is priced more affordably and gives you more ways to personalise your trip than Uber Black, and you’ll still get to enjoy the benefits of riding in a luxury car. Uber Premium does not guarantee you'll get a vehicle with commercial plates (e.g. HC plates in NSW).
- What does this mean for Uber Select, Black, Lux, and SUV?
Uber Premium will replace Uber Select, Black, Lux and SUV across Australia. Uber Select, Black, Lux and SUV will be discontinued from 20 August.
- What kind of cars can I expect with Uber Premium?
With Uber Premium, you can expect to ride in a luxury car with added style and leg room.
- How will Uber Premium work at airports?
At Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Gold Coast airports, if you’re using Uber Premium you can meet your driver at the designated ride-share pickup area.
At Sydney Airport, you can take advantage of kerbside pickups from the Limo Pickup area.
At Melbourne Airport, you can also take advantage of pickups from the dedicated VHA pickup bays on the ground level.
Once you’ve requested an Uber Premium ride, the app will provide walking directions to your closest pickup location.
